The Choicest Hardy Perennials. 



THE plants in this class are perfectly hardy and are considered both valuable and desirable for open ground, inas- 

 much as they die down only to the roots at the approach of cold weather. They survive the most severe Winters 

 and continue to grow and bloom year after year with little or no care. Once planted they become a lasting pleasure. 

 Failure with them is practically impossible. 



Double Herbaceous Paeonies. 



Should be Planted Early. 

 Every one who has this noble plant, with its large, double 

 •flowers, will agree with us that for striking beauty, effective- 

 ness, profusion and duration of bloom, it is beyond doubt one 

 of the grandest flowers m cultivation. The foliage is massive 

 and handsome, while the culture is the easiest. The flowers 

 are immense in size, perfectly double and beautifully formed 

 — like big, double Roses. They are entirely hardy, and once 

 planted they are a source of genuine pleasure year after year. 

 One's garden is incomplete without some Pseonies.

Hypericum Moserianum. 



A marvelously free-flowering, hardy plant, producing from 

 July until October its splendid blooms, which are of large size, 

 measuring from 2 to 2"^ inches in diameter and in color are a 

 rich golden yellow, which is rendered still more effective by 

 the numerous yellow stamens and crimson anthers. Forms 

 a bush about 3 feet high. Strong plants, 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 

 "cts.; 7 for $1 ; larger plants, field grown, 30 cts. each. 



Rbodos? ^ndron. 



This, wherever known, is I'mversally acknowledged to be 

 the most showy, magnificent, hardy evergreen shrub that 

 grows. It will thrive in any good soil without any special 

 preparation and in the full'blaze of the sun, but it is more 

 luxuriant in good, well-prepared soil of leaf mold and muck 

 and peat mixed and in partial shade. The broad, thick, ever- 

 green foliage, with its glossy richness, would alone entitle it 

 to a place foremost in the rankof evertrreen shrubs, but when 

 in June this mass of luxuriant foliage is almost hidden by the 

 magnificent array of beautiful flowers in clusters, it is simply 

 grand. A protection of leaves and brush during the first 

 Winter will be beneficial. The plants we offer are strong and 

 bushy, well set with flower buds, and are sure to bloom this 

 year. We offer choice named sort. Strong plants, 1 to 1}^ feet 

 high, $1 each, by Express only. 



^Rhododendrons 



New Irycliilis, Double Rose. 



This splendid new hardy perennial blooms with a per- 

 sistency that no other flower we know can lay claim to, pro- 

 ducing hundreds of flowers in the course of the season, which 

 are of exquisite rose color and are borne in clusters on long, 

 stiff stems, making them of great value in cut flower work. 

 Of easy culture and rapid growth, the plaut quickly attains 

 a height of 12 to 18 inches, and is constantly sending out 

 laterals or side shoots, which in a short time are crowned with 

 panicles of buds and flowers. No one can fail to be pleased 

 with this lovely new plant. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts. ; 7 for $1.

 to 4 feet high and nearly as wide. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.;

Newr Hardy Hibiscus, Crimsou Eye. 



Blooms the flrst and every year in August. The flowers are 

 immense, with broad, flat petals, making each flower as full 

 and as round as a large-sized dinner plate. The color is clear, 

 snowy white, with an intensely brilliant crimson spot at the 

 base of each petal, making a crimson eye 2 or H inches across 

 in the centre of an immense flower. Perfectly hardy and will 

 grow anywhere. 10 cts. each ; 6 for 50 cts.; 5fi per dozen. 



Tbe Cbinese I^antern Plant. 



This is a gigantic species of the showy Winter Cherry, 

 growing about 1% feet high. Perfectly hardy. Splendid when 

 grown in pots or boxes. It blooms early and produces the first 

 season a large number of balloon-like husks 3 to 3J^ inches 

 across. Color orange scarlet. They strongly represent minia- 

 ture Chinese Lanterns when lighted— hence the name. The 

 effect is singularly striking. In the husks or lanterns a fruit 

 is borne much like a Winter Cherry or Husk Tomato, except 

 that the color is deep rubj' red, and is in every way superior 

 to a Winter Cherry, either for coloring, preserVing'or eating 

 raw ; also valuable as a parlor ornament. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 

 25 cts.; 6 for 50 cts.; ^1 per dozen.
